FC Barcelona has reached an agreement with Manchester United star Marcus Rashford according to SPORT reporter David Bernabeu, who cited anonymous sources when revealing the news while hosting his La Posesion podcast on Monday night in Spain.
The same newspaper reported in the past that Barça would do “everything” for the Englishman in the current transfer window, as they want a striker who can play on the left wing and also replace Robert Lewandowski up front. so that the Pole can rest. from time to time.
SPORT also later revealed that head coach Hansi Flick had agreed to the potential move, which would be on loan until the end of the 2024/2025 season or June 30.
Bernabéu has revealed that Barça has an agreement with Rashford, but as has been the case with the Catalans since the pandemic, Financial Fair Play (FFP) is an issue.
The Spanish reporter said that Rashford earns $18.8 million (€18 million) a year at Old Trafford, so the Blaugrana would have to find at least half of that value – i.e. $9.4 million (€9 million) – to pay him as part of a temporary deal with no obligation to buy the 27-year-old when it has expired.
Despite everything, Barça has returned to the 1:1 rule according to the FFP, which means that it will have to sell a player in the next 10 days, before the window closes, and at the same time will have at least 9 million euros of the payment and compensation for his transfer. unofficial salary.
Bernabeu suggested that Eric García’s move to Girona, where the former Manchester City defender was on loan last season, would help make up the numbers.
Meanwhile, Ansu Fati has also been linked with a departure from his formative years team and is one of the team’s richest workers who, until being included in the traveling organization that traveled to Lisbon to face Benfica in the Liga Champions this week, they had been passed over from 4 consecutive Flick Day team lists.
While Fati would only leave temporarily, some have questioned the logic of permanently moving a player like Eric just to get a player on loan and pay his salary.
